Analysis

Have you ever wondered whether a property brochure for a property that hasn't been developed yet will actually look like the real thing? Unfortunately, this is the case for The Heron Residency, as the artist's impression drew it as a beautiful serviced apartment but the complex turned out badly.Although The Heron Residency was originally marketed as a resort-style development with 5 star facilities, unfortunately it is not in reality. For example, the area is not actually landscaped well. Another example is that in front of these apartments are Malay food stalls selling coconuts, nasi lemak, pisang goreng, and more. Well, perhaps this is good for those who do not feel like cooking. However, these are here because the location is in Kampung Baru Puchong.Other than this, residents have complained about the smell coming from the Air Itam landfill, that the building management is terrible at managing, and much more. All in all, The Heron Residency is definitely a rotten egg – avoid it if you can.
